“I’ve never said I’m a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone that I’m not. I’ve said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more than a decade-old video are one of them,” Trump said.

“Anyone who knows me knows these words don’t reflect who I am. I said it, I was wrong, and I apologize.”

He then said that his campaign had changed who he was.

“I’ve traveled the country talking about change for America, but my travels have also changed me. I’ve spent time with grieving mothers who’ve lost their children, laid-off workers whose jobs have gone to other countries, and people from all walks of life who just want a better future,” Trump said.

“I have gotten to know the great people of our country, and I’ve been humbled by the faith they’ve placed in me. I pledge to be a better man tomorrow and will never, ever let you down.”

He also said that this was a distraction from the real issues of the campaign, and brought up Bill Clinton’s sexual history.

“Let’s be honest — we’re living in the real world. This is nothing more than a distraction from the important issues we’re facing today. We are losing our jobs, we’re less safe than we were eight years ago, and Washington is totally broken. Hillary Clinton and her kind have run our country into the ground,” Trump said.

“I’ve said some foolish things, but there’s a big difference between the words and actions of other people. Bill Clinton has actually abused women, and Hillary has bullied, attacked, shamed and intimidated his victims. We will discuss this more in the coming days.”

In spite of Trump’s apology, several major GOP congressmen have called for Trump to step down, including Sen. Mike Lee, who called Trump a “distraction” and said it was “time for him to step aside so we can focus on the winning ideas that will carry Republicans through to a victory in November.”
